I really hope that, at the very least, you read you read Janus Rose’s article (link in my post). I’ve been off for a couple of reasons, but while I was, I realized she’s not wrong about how an addiction- for lack of a better word- to posting outrage may be cathartic but it’s worth reconsidering

Gotta repost this! Keith is doing some valuable work here and after a heavy run-in with ‘rona last fall (& a pal got hit with it returning from California recently), I can tell you we are very much not out of the woods. Long COVID is no joke and you can support Keith’s work here:

Here is Greg Olear’s substack on how to remove the current Occupier and his cabinet, legally and quickly (his words). I like the idea but a couple of things stand out. It would emphatically NOT be quickly. There has to be enough political will to follow through. Also, Liz Cheney? I find that 1/2

Ooooh, this is a good one! @financecharg.bsky.social is a gem (check his posts out) & to follow him (& the other luminaries here), just hit follow all! You’ll be happy you did!

Morning reading #5. This dovetails with something I was looking at a month or two ago. One idea is to go after his cabinet in a concerted manner and break the regime down that way. There’s more to it and I’ll run down the article later, but here’s to Rep. Ansari for getting the ball rolling.

Morning reading #4. Every time I hear or read some MAGA dupe praise His Mad Wannabe King, I want to throw stuff like this in their stupid faces. Of course, they’d tell me I just don’t get how brilliant he is. Yeah, damaged by critical thinking AKA “TDS”.

Morning reading #3. Can we please just remove the Orange Fuck-wit from office? Today, would be good. And tell him to take his cabinet with him.

Morning reading #2.

Morning reading. “If he had destroyed Iran in our names, unhampered by the Republican Congress members who have vowed to defend the U.S. Constitution, it would also have been an epitaph for the United States of America.”

This is the one I didn’t put up yesterday. I swear I’m not losing my mind but after Trump’s self-inflicted “Cubsn middle crisis” I think we can all be granted some grace for forgetting shit.

Did I not post this yesterday? I would have sworn I had. Anyway, one of two pieces I wrote (& I didn’t post the other? Am I going nuts?)

In a world where FIFA stood for the purity of sport, you’d think this would be automatic. Hold the games in the US? No, thank you. Toronto looks good! Mexico City looks good! And hey! No fascists running the government!

If Congress doesn’t vote to impeach the orange asshole, we better start striking every goddamn day. His toadies will fawn over what a brilliant gambit this was. They need to be brought low, as well. We can breathe easier, but those fuckers in both houses better do their jobs. Impeachment, hell. 1/2

Oh , fuck you, Schumer.

We have about an hour to find out if he tacos out or goes full genocidal maniac. This is an email I sent out to some folks who might have been a little apprehensive about this current moment. No great epiphany; no sterling or deep insight, just words of comfort and encouragement. For all.

Loving listening to @crysmatthews.bsky.social ‘ Changemakers (available for download at www.crysmatthews.com. Definitely check her out, but do yourself another favor and read her lyrics. In light of where we are, her voice is so very much needed. www.crysmatthews.com/lyrics

Oh, fuck you, Vance.

Last post for now. I need to write some stuff.

Another petition. Again, every gesture is needed. But we gotta make those calls.

More reading. But also worthwhile.

This is one of those “every little bit can help” gestures. substack.com/redirect/1bd...

Again more from Ms. Misanthrope. She’s doing a great job and I hope y’all are doing some reading up right now.

This. Thanks @lilmsmisanthrope.bsky.social for a succinct but comprehensive look at the past 8 decades of Western and US intervention and destabilization of Iran. I recommend reading all her posts related to this. She’s a lot less wordy than I’d be! Also: call your reps. We have till 8 pm.

We’ve got till 8pm ET

I had a dream last night where the military executed him. I was shaken because that signaled a military coup and the immediate uncertainty of what was going to happen to us all. I don’t think an execution is what we want. Removal from office and a trial and sentencing would be more like it.1/4

I’m not sure how funny/sad I find this… It’s pretty fucking funny, but man, it might be more accurate than I want to think about.

Houston Area folks! I’m tickled pink because while I do tout @neilaquino.bsky.social a good bit, and while I know some of you know him and hope many of you follow him online at Houston Democracy Project, you can listen to and meet the man himself here. It promises to be fun & informative!

Woke up with dread in my bones and read HCR’s letter. It finishes with this: “Hollie Silverman of Newsweekreported that on the prediction market platform Kalshi, which allows traders to buy “yes” or “no” shares on the question “Will the 25th Amendment be used during Trump’s presidency?” “yes” 1/2

"There has never been a President who has worked harder for the American people than President Trump," Steven wrote. "On this Easter weekend, he has been working nonstop in the White House and Oval Office. God Bless him." Well, first of all, that’s bullshit. But 1/2

I posted something earlier to this effect. I feel less crazy.

Given Stubby Digits’ recent Tweets, this is a great, timely pack from the wonderful @mrsdeborahlynn.bsky.social . I hit Follow All. Join me in doing the same.

Nope. I’m pretty convinced he’s writing those posts…appropriate use of apostrophe and all. He’s out of his fucking mind (not new or news).

Nothing like celebrating a day of resurrection with war crimes. Here’s the thing, though. Speculation is that Hegseth is writing these more recent posts. They’re too short and to the point and while I don’t doubt the Orange vulgarian cusses, I don’t recall him using “fuckin’” or similar. 1/3

There’s a part of me that still feels this way!

Happy Easter to all who celebrate from the lovely @bluthrunthru.bsky.social ! Lots of good eggs in this basket!

I have what I feel are some funny, maybe even cute but certainly somewhat snarky gifs for today. If you follow me, you know I’m agnostic (at best) on supramundane guidance in this world. You may not know that I do respect those who follow their religion in its spirit. Now for some fun!

This was prompted by none other than @jaybird54.bsky.social! It’s a musing on what constitutes a cult movie more than what makes a classic. I amuse myself. Thanks Jaye!

I ❤️ Mrs. Betty Bowers more each day.

Oh, Donny. You’re doing it again. Writing a check with your stubby little fingers that you can’t cash and we’re all going to pay for. God’s got nothin’ to do with your fat ass, Donny boy. Take a seat, be quiet, and resign; you’ll be in jail in no time. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Also, Smokey says @Happy Caturday!”

Morning reading #4. The last of the a.m.!

Morning reading #3. Maybe the most important. WE WILL NOT LET THEM DISMISS THE EPSTEIN FILES! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/o...

Morning reading #2.

Morning reading.

Yay! @mcastimovies.bsky.social ‘s 1st AV Club review! About a flick very much on my watchlist, to boot! Woot!

I want to go back in time where this statement alone would start impeachment. #USDemocracy

Okay. It’s Easter time and I posted a reply to a dear friend here with a picture of Tara Reid as Bunny Lebowski from the Coens’ The Big Lebowski. It got me thinking that after a subsequent chat, not everyone’s seen the flick and that prompted me to ask (just myself) why do we assume a universal

First, great folks to follow! Second: no notes on the meme. Very sassy, Sassy! Well-played!

Christopher Webb for the win, y’all.

Completely divorced from any relevance to anything, I reread a couple of entries on Reaction Shots and pissed myself off with my own sloppy editing! I’ve poked gentle fun at proofing foibles by the pros, but let’s face it: rocks and glass houses don’t mix well. Typos, repetition, & 1/2
